Jabiru main landing gear question

[PureCaboose]

Bolts replaced, new brake disks installed and taxi runs done.

 

Trying to get the balance between too much space between the disks and pads and too much travel in the brake lever.

 

I just need to araldite in the screw in fittings for the fairings and it will be good for a flight test (and I can get back to flying).

Nothing pulls the Pads back. The pack of pressure should be enough for them to turn freely.  Nev

Thanks Nev, the brakes are more akin to mountain bike brakes that automotive brakes. I will set them up the way I set up my MTB brakes and see how that goes. They work, just need to be adjusted properly. 

 

Compared to before the before brakes they are fantastic.

 

New disks on the left, old disks on the left. Have a zoom in and have a look at the bearing surface on the old disks.

Lack of pressure,  also.(Not pack)  Yours are designed to handle water Any bit of wobble will move the discs away .  Nev
